THOM KROM M S 196 Sweatshirt - Black Worked Knit Cotton Elastane Men's Contemporary German

The Sweatshirt Reimagined

The THOM KROM M S 196 is not a basic. A 96% cotton, 4% elastane worked knit construction delivers a fabric with tactile depth and surface texture that reads far above its category — this is a sweatshirt that earns its place alongside tailored pieces. The elastane gives it just enough recovery to hold its shape through full days of wear, while the worked knit structure adds a dimensional quality you won't find in standard jersey.

Why This Sweatshirt Is Different

• Worked knit construction: A structured knit technique that creates surface texture and dimensional character — unlike flat jersey, it has presence and depth
• 96% Cotton, 4% Elastane: Natural breathability with shape recovery — cotton comfort that holds its form
• German design, Turkish manufacture: THOM KROM precision with Turkish textile craftsmanship
• No logos: The knit structure and silhouette are the statement
• Unlike standard cotton sweatshirts that lose shape at the cuffs and hem, the elastane blend maintains structure across hundreds of washes
• Versatile weight: Substantial enough for cooler days, breathable enough for layering year-round
• Colour depth: Cotton absorbs dye deeply — the black is rich, not flat
• Investment quality: Worked knit construction is more durable and dimensionally stable than cut-and-sew jersey

The Moment You Put It On

The worked knit has a weight and texture that you notice immediately — not heavy, but substantial. It settles against the body with a quiet authority that flat jersey never achieves. The elastane blend means it moves without pulling, returns without bagging, and looks the same at the end of the day as it did at the beginning.

This is the piece you reach for when you want to look considered without trying. It layers under a jacket and holds its own without one.

The Art of Worked Knit

Worked knit — gewirkt in German — refers to a structured knitting technique that interlocks yarn loops in a specific pattern to create dimensional surface texture and structural integrity. Unlike cut-and-sew jersey (which is knitted flat then cut), worked knit garments are constructed with the structure built in — more durable at the edges, more resistant to distortion, and visually richer. In cotton-elastane, the technique produces a fabric that breathes like cotton, recovers like a technical fabric, and presents like something considered.

How to Wear It

• Clean minimal: Alone with THOM KROM black trousers — the worked knit texture elevates a simple silhouette into something editorial
• Under outerwear: Under the M J 89 or M J 93 jacket — the elastane accommodates layering without bunching at the shoulders
• Smart casual: With tailored trousers and clean footwear — the worked knit reads closer to a fine knit than a standard sweatshirt
• Travel essential: Cotton breathes in transit, elastane recovers on arrival — a sweatshirt that looks intentional off the plane

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold, gentle cycle — inside out to preserve knit surface
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to preserve worked knit structure
• Cool iron if needed — avoid high heat on elastane content
• Do not dry clean
• Store folded flat to maintain knit integrity
